After my first book “The Everything Grow your Own Vegetables Book” published and felt the topic of storing food would be
the perfect follow up book. When I started writing this book I talked
with my mother and other women who are all well into they’re seventies
and eighties asking them about their experiences in preserving and
storing foods. For them this was a necessity when they were growing up
and raising families. Preservation techniques were something taught to
them by their mothers or grandmothers, unfortunately those skills were
not necessarily past down to my generation.

Today most of the skills or “tricks of the trade” around storing,
canning and preserving foods are becoming obsolete, as we no longer
need to rely on our gardens to feed us.

In recent years there has been a new trend in more of us wanting
to return to our roots; to living off the land. We want to grow and
preserve our own foods, some of us for our health, or the health of our
children, or for the health of our planet. Whatever the reason, being
able to choose home grown veggies and fruits from your storage area is
the only reward you need, so start getting more info on how to get
started right now!
